Pro-Trump Group Releases Findings on Election Fraud in Wisconsin and, Yeah, Trump Won't Like This One Bit

Pro-Trump Group Releases Findings on Election Fraud in Wisconsin and, Yeah, Trump Won't Like This One Bit

For more than a year now, former President Donald Trump and his allies have promoted delusions that the 2020 election was "stolen" by Democrats coordinating with election companies like Dominion Voting Systems to perpetrate widespread election fraud.

This is, of course, nonsense. Trump's claims of fraud were tossed out in more than 50 lawsuits. Election audits in a number of swing states Trump lost found no evidence of widespread fraud. Trump's Attorney General at the time, William Barr, reached the same conclusion.


And now, a right-wing group in Wisconsin has come up with nothing as well.

Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) recently released the results of a 10 month investigation of approximately 20 thousand ballots and nearly 30 thousand absentee ballot envelopes.

The conclusion?

"There was no evidence of widespread voter fraud. In all likelihood, more eligible voters cast ballots for Joe Biden than Donald Trump. We found little direct evidence of fraud, and for the most part, an analysis of the results and voting patterns does not give rise to an inference of fraud"

But wait, there's more.

Key targets of Republican election fraud fantasies were electronic voting systems, such as Dominion. The company has filed multiple defamation suits for billions of dollars after Trump and his allies claimed the company switched Trump votes to Biden votes—claims that led to harassment and death threats of its employees and the erosion of its reputation across the country.

Unsurprisingly, WILL's report found:

"Donald Trump won communities that used Dominion voting machines with 57.2%, an increase from 2016. WILL could not access voting machines as a part of this review, but we did model the various machines to evaluate their effect on the outcome of the election. Just 14.7% of Wisconsin jurisdictions employ the Dominion voting machines, maligned by many as a culprit in changing votes for Joe Biden."

Few were surprised at the conclusions.






Soon people began showing the results to officials who promoted Trump's election lies.





But the group's findings aren't likely to sway the most devout pro-Trump election conspiracy theorists.

People can't help but nod their heads after one of former Secretary of State and then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's speeches from 2016 warning about how Donald Trump would act if elected president resurfaced and proved more relevant than ever.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
